Xampp conflicts ongoing, please help.

[Malamute]

Hi,

Finally tearing my hair out over Xampp / Apache server issues, any help welcome :

Xampp version 1.8.1
Xampp control panel version v3.1.0 3.1.0
OS Windows 7

Problem.
Xampp is running but not displaying website on new computer. (Windows 7)
Xampp is running and website is fine on 1 other older computer (Windows XP)
All I get is the connection error on the website, cannot even get a simple php page to display.
Xampp status panel says everything is ok except Tomcat, Ftp and Smtp
Latest test :

This page offers you one page to view all information about what's running and working, and what isn't working.

22:00:35 [main] most application stuff but whenever you do something with services
22:00:35 [main] there will be a security dialogue or things will break! So think

Action taken so far:
Ports checked, running on 80,443, no obvious conflicts elsewhere
UAC system on windows deactivated, xampp installed, restarted computer then reactivated - no good.
Confirmed validity of the website I'm trying to access on another computer, also simple php page tried - no good.
Kaspersky antivirus deactivated, xampp installed, not working, Kasperky reactivated still no change.
II7 internet publishing (Windows 7) not found on computer - home pc.
Brower changed from IE to Firefox - no change
Windows firewall deactivated, xampp installed, restarted computer then reactivated - no good.

Well, that's about it really. It seems that there is still a conflict blocking the page view.

Strangely enough I installed Xampp (same version) about 3 weeks ago and it worked fine, although Apache very quickly ran on a yellow status indicator, finally stopping working.

I have made no changes since, nor downloaded any suspicious hardware etc...

Reluctant to run on administrator rights as I'm led to believe there are serious security issues and I need internet access simultaneously.

I have downloaded and tried an Apache server and still had exactly the same problem.

I like Xampp as a package and would love to keep using it, please help. Thanks.Malamute

Hello,

Strangely enough I installed Xampp (same version) about 3 weeks ago and it worked fine, although Apache very quickly ran on a yellow status indicator, finally stopping working.

A yellow indicator means that one of the two Apache processes is not running. Sometime it takes a while for both to start up if you are doing a fresh start but a conflict can occur if you rapidly push the start/stop button. If you were on yellow and stopped it, it could mean that one of the Apache processes started but did not get stopped. This can stop Apache from starting up again. You can see if this occurs by opening your Task Manager, going to the Processes tab, and End Process any httpd instances left over.

Reluctant to run on administrator rights as I'm led to believe there are serious security issues and I need internet access simultaneously.

You only need Admin rights if you are using Services (Green Check under the Services column of the Control Panel which you do not appear to be).

If you are able to load the XAMPP webpages then that leads me to believe that Apache is working.

Are you only having trouble displaying your own webpages?

Are you running the same XAMPP version on WinXP?

[Malamute]

Hi,
Thanks for a prompt reply. In answer to your questions :

I'm running the same Xampp version on an older computer with Windows XP (home edition) with absolutely no problem.

On the new computer with Windows 7 I'm running with 2 green lights for Apache and Mysql and can load the Xampp pages.

Apache seems to be working but not connecting to the webpage.

I am using the same website on the older computer which loads perfectly with the same set up.

When I run localhost/website/index.php all I get is the mysql connection error message.

Everything seems to point towards something blocking the connection and therefore access on the Windows 7 computer but I'm at a loss as to what it is.

Xampp version same on both computers.
Website same on both computers.

The Windows 7 computer is connected to the internet, the Windows XP is not, only used for developing.

Thanks for your patience and replies.

When I run localhost/website/index.php all I get is the mysql connection error message.

What specific error are you getting?

You might try uncommenting (remove #) the

Code: Select all

# bind-address="127.0.0.1"

line in your xampp/mysql/bin/my.ini file and restart MySQL.

Hi again,

Thanks for your reply.

On running localhost all I'm getting is the php mysql error connection message confirming that there is no connection.

Regarding your advice to comment out the :

**

You might try uncommenting (remove #) the
Code: Select all
# bind-address="127.0.0.1"
line in your xampp/mysql/bin/my.ini file and restart MySQL.
**

I've tried this, restarted but no luck.

I'm attaching the Apache/Xampp error logs for the last few days, maybe this will throw some light on the matter? I hope so.

Once again thanks for your patience

Hello,

Okay, lets take a step back then.

1. Can you access MySQL via phpMyAdmin?
2. Can you access MySQL via the command line (/xampp/mysql/bin/mysql.exe)?

[Malamute]

Hi again,

1. Can you access MySQL via phpMyAdmin?

Yes, I can access phpMyAdmin and yes, I can access mysql via phpMyAdmin.

2. Can you access MySQL via the command line (/xampp/mysql/bin/mysql.exe)?
Yes , using the command line I get :
**
Welcome to the Mysql monitor.
Your Mysql connection id is 1.
Server version: 5.5.27 Mysql Community server etc...
**
I should mention that on downloading Xampp there was a warning about the security of the download and that some components may not work. I took this to mean Ftp, Tomcat etc... However, I've had this on the Windows XP and everything works fine.

Thanks again, perhaps we're getting somewhere.

Since you can render PHP pages with Apache and access MySQL via PHP, that leads me to believe it is something in your code or the user you are trying to connect with in your code is not correct. I would review your code carefully and make sure the information in your mysql connect statement matches up with what is in your database.

Ok, thanks for all your efforts, I'll go back to basics and toothpick the coding.....again !
Thanks again
